| Summary: | At a time when technology has brought the world's populations together in a "global community", the forces of separatism, tribal warfare, ethnic rivalry, and racism seem to be out of control. Sadly, the church of Christ-and that includes the Seventh-day Adventist Church-has not been immune to these gospel-denying forces. Can we get back to the cross, where all men and women are made "one in Christ" (Galatians 2:28)? Where love overrules hate? Where peoples of every nation, kindred, and tongue embrace rather than retreat? Where reconciliation replaces repression?The answer is Yes. The time is now. Make us one, a multi-authored, round-table discussion of cultural diversity in the church, addresses the global mission of Seventh-day Adventism and challenges its members to remove racial barriers and build bridges of understanding as the cross of Christ demands.This unique work provides a blueprint and a challenge for Christians to love each other and build relationships in the last days. - Acknowledgment.Forewor.Introduction: Diversity and the Divine Experiment.Section One: Understanding.What Is Your Diversity Tolerance?1.
